Angels help after fall

I had an errand to run about 10:30 a.m. Feb. 3. I came home and decided to get the trash can around the back of the house. The streets were a little slick in my part of town. My balance is not very good, but as soon as I stepped up on the curb, I fell. I was in the street between my daughter’s car and the trash tote. I was able to roll over to a sitting position but unable to get up. I tried to get up the next 10 to 15 minutes, but just couldn’t make it.

Just then my angel pulled up to the stop sign. She was going the opposite way but stopped and turned my way. She stopped across from me and asked if I needed help, which I did. I asked if she could call my daughter who was in the house. She did and between the two of them I still could not get up. She told me they were new to the neighborhood and her name was Nicole. She called her son to help and just as he showed up, I was able to get up. She then had her son follow me to make sure I made it in all right.

So, my thanks goes out to Nicole and her son for their help. This day was bitter and cold and I don’t know how much longer I could have stayed down without help. And thank you to my daughter for her help, too.
